Hawcara Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Does anyone know of a rear bar/tow bar fitter for motorhomes, with a good reputation in the Devon/Cornwall area? The nearest place I can find is PWS in Poole, which we could handle but seems a long way to travel. Thank you. *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawcara Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 Thank you for that, buty they only seem to have tow balls for cars and vans. I wanted a tow bar and ball, the solid bar that extends the width of the rear on the van to protect it, when reversing and from a rear end shunt. :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minstrel Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I think you're right to want a full width bar. OUr motorhome was fitted with one when we bought it, and it saved the coachwork when someone shunted us. Only the very expensive trim round the nearside (offside in France) and the bar needed work. The bar looks as good as new. A quick reminder to all - when travelling in France if you have an accident make sure that the other driver produces the official form that they need to fill in. It was somehow our fault that one was not filled in. We were not at fault in the accident and that was eventually agreed. Oh! and the French have 6 years to agree a claim. Perhaps the MEP's could use their time usefully to set limits . Sorry rant over. Goodnight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minstrel Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 The old man who bumped us didn't have a form, I wrote all details down in french, he agreed them and I made a copy for us. To be honest i don't think he should have been driving, he was really old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawcara Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Minstrel, do you happen to know where yours was fitted? I have emailed the various suggestions above, but have so far drawn a blank with the full length bar at a place nearer to home in sunny Cornwall. Have tried to look at Sanspec trailers site but cant find it. Thank you again to all who contributed. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
